You haven’t forgotten about the omnibus film “Tôkyô!” have you? The picture consists of three shorts, one by Michel Gondry, and the other two directors on the project are South Korean filmmaker Joon-ho Bong (“The Host”) and French director Leos Carax — who hasn’t made a film since 1999’s “Pola X” (and Scott Walker scored) — and the trailer has finally arrived.

The film comes out March 6, and we’ve already shown you one version of the poster, some clips from the film and the fact that Gondry’s former bandmate in the French pop group, Oui Oui, guitarist/singer Étienne Charry, composed the score for the directors’ “Interior Design” vignette.

We all remember that before Michel Gondry was a filmmaker he was a drummer in the French pop band Oui Oui, yes? Gondry got his start making lo-fi music videos for his band that became progressively more ambitious. Then Björk called — always one with a keen eye for up-and-coming, cutting edge artists — for her video “Human Behavior” and Gondry basically never looked back.

Well, it looks like he’s gone back to his roots a little bit by having Oui Oui guitarist/singer Étienne Charry compose the score for Gondry’s “Interior Design” segment in the three-part vignettes film, “Tokyo!” that screened earlier this year at Cannes and the Woodstock Film Festival (where we missed it by a day).
